UN Troops in Chicago? Fact or Fiction

The UN Peacekeepers will be sent to quell violence in Chicago. This is the claim that many are making. There have been many sightings of UN vehicles in the United States over the past years. The claims that UN Peacekeepers will come in and take over the United States have been promoted by sites like Anti-Media, IlluminatiExposed.net, InfoWars.com, and Anonymous-Feed.com. What sparked this conversation to resurface was the announcement of a Facebook post by Cook County Commissioner Richard Boykin.

Boykin also spoke with the Chicago Tribune and stated the following when questioned about welcoming in foreign troops from the United Nations

“I’m talking about whoever the U.N. would decide to send in,”

and also stated

if the soldiers were instead wearing the sky blue helmets of United Nations peacekeepers there might not be such a problem

Although we have verified the above quotes, when fact checked using snopes.com they returned a rating of this being a false report. It may be false that any plans have been made for UN troops to go into Chicago, but it is true that the Commissioner does not mind having them present. What are your thoughts, should the UN be allowed or petitioned to help with the crisis in Chicago?
